ROBERT YOUNG, OF SHEBOYGAN, WISCONSIN.

LIGHTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 15, 1915.

Application filed April 21, 1914. Serial No. 833,414.

To all-whom it may concern: Be it known that I, ROBERT YOUNG, a citi- Zen of the United States, and resident of Sheboygan, in the county of Sheboygan and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lighting; and I do hereby declare'thatthe following is a full, clear, and eXact description thereof.

My invention consists in what is herein particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the claims of this specification, its object being the diffusion of light from a single lamp in space on opposite sides of a wall to which the lamp is adjacent, said lamp and means therewith being especially designed to serve as a combined hall and porch light. The drawing represents a partly sectional elevation of a lamp and means therewith for the purpose aforesaid, the lamp being in connection with a wall shown in section.

Referring by numerals to the drawing, 1 indicates an incandescent gas-burner lamp having a bracket 2 attached to a wall 3, but the kind of lamp with reference to the illuminating product is immaterial. Projecting from the lamp, through an aperture provided in the wall, is a tube 4 of any suitable material having a highly polished inner surface or otherwise interiorly adapted for intensifying rays of light from the illuminating member of said lamp, the free end 4: of the tube being a funnel-shaped reflector within a more or less transparent globe 5 for which a holder 6 is attached to said wall.

The lamp-end of the tube 4 is preferably glazed to keep out dirt and moisture, a

frame 7 for the glass or other transparency 8 being provided in the lamp, and within the globe 5, opposite the funnel-end of said tube, a reflector 9 is preferably provided. The light from the lantern passing through the tube 4: is highly intensified and striking the opposite portion of the globe 5 or the reflector 9 therein is reflected back to the funnel-end of said tube which in turn diffuses said light in all directions.

I claim:

1. The combination of a wall, a lamp on one side of the wall, a tube extending from the lamp through said wall and having its interior adapted for intensifying light, the free end of the tube being a funnel-shaped reflector; a more or less transparent globe inclosing the funnel end of said tube, and a reflector in the globe opposite the one aforesaid.

2. The combination of a wall, a lamp on one sideof the wall, a tube extending from the lamp through said wall and having its interior adapted for intensifying light, the free end of the tube being a funnel-shaped reflector, and a reflector arranged opposite the one aforesaid.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Sheboygan in the county of Sheboygan and State of Wisconsin in the presence of two witnesses.

ROBERT YOUNG.
